Date: 2011-07-09 07:41 am (UTC)We're not crazy with this shirt. It's not like we can reorder it if something happens to it.

Date: 2011-07-09 07:48 am (UTC)Sometimes I think we'd be better beating our clothes against rocks, like they used to do in the old days. :P

Date: 2011-07-09 07:53 am (UTC)There is some Woolite for dark colors you could try. It's pretty good with people with detergent allergies. Or if you're not allergic to Cheer, they have one.
We totally would be better off if our clothes could withstand the beatings. They aren't made as well anymore. lol

Date: 2011-07-09 08:03 am (UTC)lol, good point!
I'll look for the woolite. I wear a lot of dark clothes. I think I may have dodged that particular allergy, but I can never be 100% sure because I've always stuck with the super allergy-friendly soaps. My sister is hyper sensitive to allergies though and I live with her, so it'll still have to pass being around her in order for me to use it. Last year she reacted to something and couldn't use her hands for a while - I'd like to avoid that again! It's sort of weird having to brush a 25 year-old's hair, cut up their food for them, and tuck them in at night...though, did think it'd make a great prompt for a h/c fic ;)

Date: 2011-07-09 07:03 pm (UTC)Also? That t-shirt is awesome.
BTW, you aren't alone in the allergy thing - I have to use free/clear no-ANYTHING detergent/soap/shampoo/everything too... I actually can't really use bleach so I use Borax or Baking Soda anyway. For some reason my skin's insanely sensitive and doesn't like even SCENTS added to the detergent.

Date: 2011-07-09 08:49 pm (UTC)It's really annoying though that the detergent companies don't seem to understand that people are allergic to SCENTS too - sometimes there will be a brand that works really well for Mum, and then they'll come out with "now with fresh meadow scent!" and my mum won't be able to buy it anymore.

Date: 2011-07-10 04:05 am (UTC)The weird thing is, that she discovered when she traveled to Europe, that perfumes in Europe didn't bother her at all. She was really confused, so she looked it up. Apparently, Europe has much higher standards about what grade of chemicals can go in things - so basically, it's like perfume companies sell consumer-grade perfume to Europeans, and industrial-grade perfume to North Americans. Which, is kind of scary to me...I mean, there must be a REASON that Europe banned selling the lower-grade stuff to consumers!
no subject
Date: 2011-07-10 12:54 pm (UTC)GAH! That's actually kind of disturbing! I mean, I'm so with you on there being a *reason* for Europe not selling our grade stuff... *iz thankful she can't wear it anyways*

Date: 2011-07-09 08:18 am (UTC)Oh, and I might be slightly envious of your slim figure. :P

Date: 2011-07-09 08:22 am (UTC)Don't be envious. Much like the Impala, I like to keep all my junk in the trunk. ;)

Date: 2011-07-09 04:15 pm (UTC)So, you could always get one yourself too! If YOU can find one of those print-your-own t-shirt places.

Date: 2011-07-09 04:33 pm (UTC)I did silk-screening when I was around 10 years-old, but I never graduated to more than a one-colour design.

Date: 2011-07-09 04:41 pm (UTC)i have a tshirt that a friend made for me - it's the taillights and licence plate silk-screened on a black shirt - but it's actully now too big for me! o_O
no subject
Date: 2011-07-09 04:44 pm (UTC)Hopefully the design will repeat somewhere at some point. I did save the .jpg though, on the off chance that if I wanted a replacement (or mine got lost in the mail), I could find one of those custom-tshirt-printing places and get one specially made for me. I'm not sure how those work, but I know one dude who got this awesome Calvin and Hobbes shirt made at one back in the 90s, so presumably, if they still exist, it might be possible.

Date: 2011-07-09 04:49 pm (UTC)that would be totally cool. heh.

Date: 2011-07-09 08:54 pm (UTC)several folks on my flist scored this shirt and I did not manage it. I think it was because I don't have a facebook??? at any rate, ;_;
BEST SHIRT EVER!!!
no subject
Date: 2011-07-09 08:58 pm (UTC)I did keep a copy of the jpg that they had on the site, just in case in the future I found a custom t-shirt place that could make me a copy.
I actually found out about the shirt on tumblr (which I was only stalking at the time). I suppose I should have posted it here, and let more people know, but I'm just not used to announcing purchases :P
Jim Beaver also posted it on his facebook though - I think that's where a lot of people heard about it.
If it happens again, I'll be sure to post a note about it for those who are only on LJ. ;)
